Beautiful Day

It was a beautiful day here in Oregon. The sun was out and it was even warm! I took the opportunity to take Roz and Emi back out in the field. Emi enjoyed playing and they both did some grazing. That girl can move! I thought I had gotten some great video of her trotting until I realized that my phone was not actually recording. You will just have to trust me on this one, and I will get good video some day!

Beautiful. I still can't believe I have my very own Cardi baby out in the field.

Roz and I were goofing off while Emi played.

I got some exciting news on Friday. I officially received a big promotion and a raise! I'm excited for the opportunity and it's great timing for me. I realized yesterday that I need to start looking for a local dressage trainer who has lesson horses. I'd really like to make some riding progress in the next few years, before I start riding Emi. I'd prefer to be at the top of my game when I start riding her, rather than coming off of a 3 year break. Come to think of it, I need a 3rd horse. Haha.

I've ridden first level and schooled some second and third. One of my goals for Emi is to get to third level. I know it will be so much easier if I have actually had the opportunity to ride third level, before I do it with her. So, if you are in Oregon and know of a dressage trainer with good school horses, send me their info! I don't mind driving for the right person.

Congrats on the promotion!!! I hope you find a great trainer! I was horseless for two years before I got Chrome and then had to wait three years to ride him so I started riding him after a five year break ahh!! Needless to say my form sucks, but he's been a total dream to train so far. I seriously need lessons though. That's why he's four and we've barely done anything (that and I was letting him grow and was busy building my house this last year). So having been there I hope you can get the lessons, so that you will be better prepared for starting her than I was (am) starting Chrome. :)
